DEVIL SNARES
CHAPTER 50 SPECIAL EDITION BIMA - 5 -

A few months later....

Ningsih thought her husband would change over time. However, hopes and dreams are not in harmony with reality. Precisely more and more days, the nature and bad behavior of Agus slowly seen.

"Mas, where are you going?" asked Ningsih while holding a Revelation that was already a year old.

"There's business for a while" replied Agus indifferently. He rushes on his bike, leaving just like that.

"Yesummer, Mas. When do you want to go every night? What the hell are you doing out there?" muttered Ningsih while holding her son who was crying because his father left.

It's not just once Agus has done this. Over the past two months, the man has become. Every night go somewhere. According to a neighboring rumor, Agus approached Mr. Karim's son in the village next door. Mr. Karim is a Fishing Pool Manager. Every night he went to take care of the pond especially when slashing (pushing fish to the merchant). That makes Tatik often alone at home, because Mr. Karim's wife had died three years ago.

Ningsih was still holding her brain back from all bad thinking. He felt that if he had not seen with his own eyes, it would not be a problem to keep his family intact. Then that day something unexpected happened....

"Mas, why haven't you been home all night?" search Ningsih.

"That's what you are! I just got home already lectured. Yeudah I'm leaving again!" agus said casually.

"Where are you going, Mas? Is it true that people say, if Mas was sleeping with Mr Karim's son? Answer, Mas!" shouted Ningsih who was fed up with holding all the question marks on her head. Wishing the answer was no, Ningsih had to swallow bitter disappointment.

"Ha ha ha .... You already know, right? Yes, I did have a romance with Tatik. He is also the one who has been helping us to eat everyday. What do you want? Getting angry? Please, Ningsih!" agus answered casually.

Bak was struck by lightning in broad daylight, Ningsih's heart felt a terrible pain. He also ran out of patience.

"You have heart, Mas! You bear! No, no, no coming home every night! Tega you, Mas! Basic breng*ek!" ningsih screamed while beating her husband's chest.

Agus held tightly to Ningsih's hand, "You are already boring. Your parents also rarely help our economy, right? Why would I marry you if life was hard."

"Bad you, my mother! The rotten hearted man! Wicked you!" Ningsih tried to let go of her hand.

"Then what do you want? A divorce? It's okay...."

Ningsih was crying. His son was scared and crying. Agus embraced Revelation and carried it. As if he did not feel guilty, he took Revelation out of the house and stopped the crying of his son.

Ningsih felt bad. Heartache and despair. Life is hard and you can't eat, it's common for him. However, betrayal is unforgivable. It is a household disease. Once a man cheats, then the next will be cheating and always cheating when there are opportunities and gaps.

Ningsih wiped away her tears. He remembered the words of Ratih, his best friend. The embittered woman made up her mind to follow in the footsteps of Ratih. He picked up his polyponic phone and sent a message to his best friend.

[Ratih, can you come here now? I want to talk important. I want to be like you, rich. ]

There was not a minute, the reply was immediately obtained.

[What's up, Ningsih? Okay, I'll be right to your house. Patience first yes. ]

Ningsih smiled too. The woman's thoughts drifted away about the vengeance of her heartache.

"Mas, I want to be alone first. You bring the Revelation to your parents only. I need some alone time" said Ningsih walking out the door of her fragile home.

"Excuse me?"

"No, Mas. I just want to be alone." replied Ningsih while throwing her face, taking her eyes away from Agus' gaze.

Not wanting to feel pity by the person who has hurt his heart, Ningsih also rushed to the room to clean up the needs of Revelation while leaving. Agus followed his wife. Revelation is placed on a weathered seat.

"You angry, Dek? Sorry, Mas ya already too you," said Agus while rubbing Ningsih's shoulder from behind.

"Which wife will be cheated and not angry when her husband confesses his depraved deeds, Mas?"

"Ningsih, sorry Mas ya.." whispered Agus made Ningsih's body goosebumps. The man knew he was going to use the emotions of women.

"Mas go to the old man's house first. I want to calm my mind" said Ningsih, turning to hand over the bag containing the needs of Revelation.

"Yes, Deck. It was wrong. Follow your wishes, original...."

Agus kissed his wife's lips. Ningsih was wide-eyed about Agus' actions that could not be predicted. Agus' hands guerrilla in his wife's body. Ningsih just shut up, resigned. He thought this was the last time before he did what Ratih did.

"Dec, sorry about it. Oh.. oh. oh. oh.." cried Agus restrained while completing his desire. Ningsih was silent. No more taste for her husband.

"NINGSIH PATIENCE.... SOON I WILL BE ABLE TO MATCH YOU AND MAKE YOUR LIFE HAPPIER." Bima's words could not be heard by the woman he wanted.

Ningsih simply nodded and waved at her husband and son. A few minutes later, the train car approached the courtyard of Ningsih's house.

Ratih got off, brought a box of Ningsih's favorite lunches. "Call, Ningsih.... Eat this first."

"Thank you, Ratih. You come straight here. It's a long time ago in Agus already gone."

"What else are you doing?" search Ratih.

"Ah, he's crazy. Here come in first." said Ningsih let his best friend into the house.

"Train, please take me like you," pinta Ningsih.

"Seriously?"

"Totally serious. But can I really be rich?"

"Yes, you saw me, right? Drastic change after my husband died."

"Yeah.... I want to be like you."

"Ningsih, what did Agus do until you were as determined as I was?"

"Rat, people say. Mas Agus cheated. He said it himself. He cheated with Tatik Pak Karim's son, the Fishing Pool Manager. I can't forgive him anymore. He just forced me to relate. I'm sure he doesn't feel guilty at all. I'm tired.." explained Ningsih as she sighed.

"Yeah.... Patience, Ningsih. Yaudah I taught you how."

Ratih also explained the ritual that Ningsih had to do tonight. Like a flower bath in the middle of the night, wearing a pull as a substitute for clothes, and sprinkling flowers on the mattress. Then Ratih also reminded to give offerings in a place that will be used to take money from allied with the Devil. Because Ningsih did not have a closet, she also kept offerings in a hood.

Ratih also told her what to call the devil, choosing her magical husband.

"Well, that was all the plan. Remember yes, Ningsih, tomorrow your husband will die unnaturally. You should be sad when you hear the news, or at least pretend to be sad. But in the hood, I make sure the offerings turn into money and even gold," said Ratih completed his explanation.

"Ready, Train."

"If so, now eat first. This is the rice box. Your favorite."

"Ratih, thank you...."

Ningsih also devoured the contents of the box that Ratih brought. Complete bento rice, Ningsih's favorite. She has made a heart to get rid of her husband and make his life rich.

If the sacred love is already tarnished, how can it refrain from enduring it?

****

"THE WOMAN I HAD BEEN WATCHING ALL THIS TIME, FINALLY TOOK THE ROAD UNDER MY AUSPICES. I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU EVEN IF THIS ISN'T WHAT THE DEVIL DOES. I WILL BE WITH YOU UNTIL DEATH UNITES US. NINGHAI.... EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THIS IS WRONG, I CAN'T MAKE YOU MY FOLLOWER. SLEEPING WITH OTHER MEN, BESIDES ME, FOR THE SAKE OF ADDING TO THE COFFERS OF MONEY. BUT WHAT MY POWER IS, WE ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE WORLD. I AM THE DEVIL OF THE MASTER CHERNOBOG'S MEN WHO MUST MISLEAD MEN. I ALSO HAVE A DUTY TO TAKE AWAY THE SOULS OF LOST HUMANS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. EXCUSATORY. THIS IS THE BEST I CAN DO, MY FUTURE WIFE."

Bima who was confused to think of Ningsih, felt very stupid trapped feeling like a human. This is not to be known by his superiors, Mr. Chernobog. If not, Ningsih's life could be threatened.

In the evening, Ningsih prepared herself to perform the ritual as Ratih had said this afternoon. He hoped everything would be okay. She just wanted to raise her son without any more economic shortcomings. For him, that love was dead with Agus' betrayal.

Ningsih who was nervous, lay on her weathered mattress. Flowers have been sown. He read the words that Ratih taught. Her heart was pounding, thinking about what form the Devil would take to be her husband.

The wind was blowing a little. Along with the arrival of some Devils because of the neatly spoken Ningsih. There, there was a war that Ningsih did not realize.

"THIS WOMAN IS MINE. GO YOU!"

Bima prevents three Devils from coming. First, the Devil from the South Sea. Shaped head like a Dragon, sturdy and stocky body with a spear in his hand. Second, the Devil from the Volcano. Shaped red, large height, long fangs and black eyes. Third, the Devil from Java. Shaped like Genderuwo, it has thick fur, a large body, stocky hands with long black nails and sharp fangs.

Bima banished the three Devils alone. Fierce fighting is inevitable. Bima did want Ningsih to be his even though he had to go through this ritual. Fortunately, the three Devils facing him were not his masters. If faced with the higher-ups of Hell, obviously Bima will lose. The rank of the caste and the third power of the Devil who fought with Bima were different. He easily dispelled and made one by one the Devils disappear, leaving with a defeat.

"CATYR.... I CAME. TODAY HAS ALREADY MATERIALIZED. YOU'RE MINE FOREVER. FOREVER!"

Bima stepped into Ningsih's room. The woman could not see Bima. Since that unification, only Bima's voice can be heard. In fact, Bima must be in the condition of maximum strength to change the form to human form if you want to meet Ningsih. It must also eat the tumbals of the holy soul or children. Unlike the adult male collision, it is only for wealth.

"I GIVE YOU AN ABUNDANT TREASURE. LOYALTY ME. I AM YOUR ONLY HUSBAND" Bima said, ending a long night with Ningsih.
